Things that made you frown today (Political Version)

[Parkbandit]

Breaking news, politician acts like politician!

I don't remember a time where a President had a press conference and had to use a binder of canned answers to answer the softball questions he knew was coming. I think the only "tough" question was from NBC, if you can believe that... and it was a follow up question to President Biden's bullshit about not allowing reporters into their illegal alien camps.

It really was sad to watch. No wonder his handlers didn't want him to have a press conference.

Yes, it's embarrassing but I'll take that over what we've had prior.

I don't view that as embarrassing.... that's just part of life. When you get older, that happens to you.

Here are some things that are embarrassing at yesterday's "press conference":

The questions the press asked.
The way President Biden had a bunch of talking point cue cards
The way President Biden picked specific reporters to ask the questions.
The way he walked into the press conference with a mask and took it off when he got to the podium. That makes as much sense as when you go to a restaurant and have to wear a mask until you sit.. then you take it off.
The questions the press asked (this needed repeating because they were terrible)
That the President called the Filibuster, racist. (which does make sense, given how often the Democrats have used it in the past 4 years)
That the President told the ONE decent follow up question that he will allow press into the illegal alien camps when he has things set up.

Are those for real? Or a meme?

Everything I'm seeing indicates that it's real.

Can't ask questions you don't know the answers to....

Fort Jackson is investigating after a viral video captured a white man reportedly linked to the Army base harassing a Black man in the street.

The confrontation took place in a neighborhood in Columbia, South Carolina, earlier this week, according to Shirell Johnson, who posted the video on Facebook.

The three-minute video shows the white man threatening and yelling at a man, who Johnson identified only as Deandre. He is seen repeatedly telling Deandre to leave, and pushes him violently at one point.

"Go away right now," the man is heard telling Deandre at the start of the video.

Is every encounter between white and black people going to be reported in the news as some sort of racist incident now? This shit is dumb.

Is every encounter between white and black people going to be reported in the news as some sort of racist incident now? This shit is dumb.

In a single word... yes. Also, individual encounters considered racism is sooooo 2008. Today it is all about the system:

Let's not forget the very scientific proven fact that air conditioning is sexist:

Idiocracy is indeed becoming more and more of a documentary.

Newsweek has got to be one of the worst offenders of stacking far to many adds on their page.
